Bobby Berk has a bone to pick with Netflix.
The former “Queer Eye” star called out the streamer for not warning him about the show ending with Season 10 before he announced his new series with HGTV.
“[Netflix] could have easily given me a heads-up on when that was going to be announced,” the 43-year-old interior designer told People in an interview published Friday.
“I mean, I was on the show for [eight] seasons, but yeah, it’s fine,” he added.
Berk, who left the reality show after Season 8 and was replaced by Jeremiah Brent, promised that it was a coincidence that he announced HGTV’s “Junk or Jackpot?” just one day after the “Queer Eye” news broke in July.
“Show announcements don’t happen on a whim. I swear on my mother’s life, my show announcement date was set,” he insisted.
Berk said that even former co-star Karamo Brown questioned the timing of it all.
“Karamo was like, ‘Girl, the day after?’” Berk shared. “I’m like, ‘No, no, no. I promise you it was already planned.’”
Berk was a member of the show’s Fab Five alongside Brown, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness and Tan France. He announced his exit from the series in Nov. 2023.
“It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that season 8 will be my final season on Queer Eye,” he wrote on Instagram. “It’s not been an easy decision to be at peace with, but a necessary one.”
“Although my journey with Queer Eye is over, my journey with you is not. You will be seeing more of me very soon,” Berk added.
Berk later confirmed that he had drama with France, 42, when they were on the show together.
“Tan and I had a moment,” Berk told Vanity Fair in an interview published January. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show.”
“It was something personal that had been brewing,” he continued, “and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
Last month, HGTV announced Berk will host “Junk or Jackpot?,” a new series executive produced by John Cena that will follow collectors as they go through their massive and unusual collections, from an “overwhelming stash of superhero figurines” to “rare puppets and dolls.”
The next day, Netflix confirmed the upcoming tenth season of “Queer Eye,” set in Washington D.C., will be its last.
“10 seasons. Fab Five. One last go ‘round,” the streamer wrote on X.
